    Love how accurate the plugin is. Just wondering if there’s a simple hidden setting to auto-delete spam comments instantly instead of letting them sit in the spam folder for days? Trying to keep my database completely clean.

    There’s no setting for that, but you can change the value with a filter, if that’s something you’re comfortable doing. It would look something like this:

    add_filter( 'akismet_delete_comment_interval', function ( $days ) { return 1; } );

    This would reduce the maximum number of days a comment is left in spam to 1, which is the lowest number allowed by the Akismet plugin.
